Norwich midfielder Cantwell happy in new role at Bournemouth

Norwich City midfielder Todd Cantwell is happy with his change of position on-loan with Bournemouth.

Cantwell has made six Championship appearances for the Cherries, where manager Scott Parker has him operating as a box-to-box midfielder rather than the number 10 role he played at Carrow Road.

"It's been enjoyable," Cantwell told DorsetLive.

"It's been an adaption. One reason is that I was coming into a team I hadn't played in before. The second point is the position; I've never really played there before. And thirdly, the players I'm playing with didn't necessarily know my movements, and I didn't necessarily know theirs.

"But I'm six games in and that block has gone. I feel I'm now becoming a lot more comfortable with my team-mates and the surroundings, in the sense of knowing where to be, where they want me and where I want them. I'm starting to feel a lot more comfortable with my match fitness as well.

"Now is the part where, hopefully, you start to see the best side of me. And I know I've shown snippets so far, but I've definitely got a lot more to come."
